Artes poéticas mexicana (de los Contemporáneos a la actualidad) nace de la necesidad de abordar un aspecto esencia a la hora de acercarnos a la poesía, el estudio, el análisis detallado de aquellos poemas en los que los escritores, en este caso mexcianos, intentan dilucidar y en ocasiones exponer su postura ante el hecho poeético, y ello desde una perspectiva que sin duda es fruto de toda una tradición pero a la que se acude para registrar una visión candente de la poesía. Este volumen parte de un estudio general, panorámico, en el que se analizan las diferentes propuestas metapoéticas desde los Contemporáneos hasta las últimas tendencias. A esta primera aportación le siguen estudios específicos de las artes poéticas de algunos poetas (Xavier Villaurrutia, Jorge Cuesta, Gilberto Owen, Octavio Paz, Efraín Huerta, Rosario Castellanos, Jaime Sabines, Gabriel Zaid, José Emilio Pacheco, Hormero Aridjis, Francisco Hernández, Alberto Blanco, Vicente Quirarte, Julián Herbert; y una reflexión sobre poesía mexicana reciente a partir del estudio de los metapoemas de algunas poetas), muestra de la buena salud de la que las artes poéticas siguen gozando en México. El lector podrá comprobar en estas páginas cómo con el paso de los años la concepción de lo poético ha ido variando y aportando nuevas formas de entender aquello que podríamos denominar la esencia de la poesía desde la misma poesía.

The published works of Andi Nachon (Buenos Aires, 1970) comprise more than half a dozen single-authored collections of poetry, inclusion in several recent anthologies, and her own anthology of Argentine women poets. Her name appears in articles and works on recent poetry from Argentina, as in Diana Bellessi’s La pequeña voz del mundo. She also gives frequent readings on the Buenos Aires poetry circuit. Her work, though, lacks a sustained critical study. This is surprising. Nachon’s poetry occupies, in form and technique, a space between the dominant trends of 80s and 90s poetry – broadly speaking, the neobarroco and objectivismo – whilst her themes take in contemporary pop culture, political memory and resistance, and what might be termed the psychogeography of the city. Ambiguity – of subject or narrative position; of syntax; of geographical or physical position; and of gender – characterizes much of her work. For these and other reasons, a detailed reading of a selection of poems from throughout her career is somewhat overdue. This paper sets out to examine a number aspects of her poetry: the context from which her earliest work emerges; its development of novel forms of address, in relation to comparable near-contemporary poets; explorations of space, including a form of psychogeography, in both her early collections and her volume Taiga (2000); the subtle political engagements found in her poetry, including a later collection Plaza real (2004); before looking at her most recent poetry and its interaction with non-poetic forms. Questions of the lyric and what has been called by Baltrusch and Lourido (2012) and Casas (2012), amongst others, “non-lyric poetry”, are central to these analyses.

Asomarse a la escritura de Francisco Hernández (San Andrés de Tuxla, 1946) significa descubrir los infinitos matices del sufrimiento del artista en una gama tan amplia como la que va del escueto aforismo al poema en prosa. Desde su primer libro, aparecido hace ahora cuarenta años, el autor ha ido conformando el discurso poético más atormentado e inquietante de su generación. Y también uno de los más polifónicos.

Centred around Antonio Gramsci's concept of hegemony, this paper employs a critical globalisation theory framework to argue that the 1990s notion of ‘changing the world from below', understood as resistance to capitalist globalisation through a ‘transnational civil society', requires re-theorisation in the light of the contemporary developments in Our America. I make a methodological case for a neo-Gramscian approach to argue that ‘counter-hegemony', together with an adequate theorisation of the state and power, should be the preferred concept over the inherently apolitical and under-theorised ‘alter-globalisation'. Whilst the alter-globalisation movement's ideational and normative challenges to hegemony (captured in ex-British prime minister Thatcher's There-Is-No-Alternative-Doctrine, TINA) are undisputed, the transformation of the global geographies of power through local actors alone has remained illusory. Rather, the experience of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America - Peoples' Trade Agreement (ALBA-PTA) strongly suggests that counter-hegemonic globalisation theory will have to consider the roles of both the ‘state-in-revolution' and the ‘transnational organised society'. This will be shown through the analysis and theorisation of the ALBA-PTA as a multi dimensional inter and transnational counter-hegemonic regionalisation and globalisation project that operates across a range of sectors and scales.

Professionalization and political engagement are usually placed as incompatible in the case of journalism and the mainstream press, resulting in an identification of cultural resistance exclusively with alternative/amateur vehicles. I will use the concept of journalistic field as introduced by Pierre Bourdieu to review these assumptions and discuss a form of political resistance that acts in one's own area of knowledge, is not overtly political and whose effects are not immediately accountable for. Drawing examples from my research on two literary newspapers published in the 1950s in Brazil and Uruguay, this paper will focus on the implications of didacticism for literary criticism as a genre of newswriting. The analysis of these newspapers will lead to a reflection on two main issues: a) the conflict between the professionalization and democratization of literature; and b) the definition of resistance as necessarily an action that is against something. The article will reconsider education in journalism as a form of resistance, taking into account its risks of becoming political indoctrination and commercial manipulation, but emphasizing its potential as a way of expanding access to literature.

This article analyses a range of discourses articulated around the figure of the film archive between the late nineteenth and the early twenty-first centuries, accounting for the various possibilities that they open up for considering audiovisual heritage as a potential space either for revolutionary change or for political or textual resistance. Focused mainly on archival discourses in Mexico, the article traces their interaction with both national-historical and anti-imperialist narratives, and the implications of digital and online culture for the encounter between the archiving of film and resistance. It accounts for the position of the archive in negotiations between state and private capital and spaces of artistic autonomy, and for the relationships between the archive, modernity, postmodernity and the notion of posterity.

El siglo XX se terminó –y el XXI empezó o, todavía, espera– con una crise de vers no menor de la que Mallarmé diagnosticó –y contribuyó a precipitar– a finales del XIX. El signo de la crisis, sin embargo, es distinto: con el simbolismo se trataba de una tensión no resuelta entre los instrumentos tradicionales de la poesía y la búsqueda de algo nuevo, de recomienzo. El mundo cambiaba visiblemente y a poesía buscaba su lugar en una situación demasiado volátil para su necesidad de pisar suelo firme. En esa zona de transición se carga el resorte que va a impulsar las primeras vanguardias. La crisis de hoy es menos un desconcierto que un compás de espero.
